I just called SETI and they said they have a "possible" signal, but they have to go through a bunch of data. They said the internet news article jumped the gun. As of now they don't have any signal.
So I guess we'll just have to wait this one out.
Article Not Available
The story you are trying to view is no longer available through this Web site.
Bogus news reports that we found a "mystery" signal should be summarily ignored. This was a gross misinterpretation by a reporter of an quick comment Dan made off the record about AstroPulse progress and recently published millisecond pulsar findings by another group. These are new stellar phenomena which are astronomically interesting (and AstroPulse hopes to find many of) but not ET. Sigh. SOURCE

Believe what you want but this is a BOGUS REPORT! At least it's "bogus" according to SETI researcher, Matt Labofsky. I know that there are those who will quickly scream "foul"! and that "its' a cover-up" but I choose to believe SETI's own. If SETI has been misquoted, it's up to SETI to set the record straight and that's exactly what they have done......

Rumors have been flying in recent days that the SETI project has received a strong signal from space...which mostly amounts to a heaping helping of shoddy journalism...Somehow, in the article the reporter mixed up the observation of the transient signals with detecting a signal from E.T.'"

More backup info, from Slashdot. Looks like it wasn't a hit, unfortunately. Take a look at some of the comments -- pretty funny and sad.
